About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I even started my own neighborhood dog-walking service, handing out flyers and building relationships with local families who trusted me to enter their homes and walk and care for their dogs regularly. I’m extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I’m active, dependable, and patient, and my background in coaching has made me very responsible, consistent, and comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners always feel comfortable and updated while their pet is in my care. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m especially available in the mornings, midday, and early afternoons, and I can often accommodate recurring weekly schedules. I’m also available for select evenings and weekends depending on the booking. I take every pet’s safety and routine seriously. I’m comfortable entering clients’ homes, following detailed feeding and care instructions, handling leashes and harnesses, and caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets supervised, and provide updates so owners know their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I have 2 sweet boys named Ozo and Coconut. One has an allergy to chicken so I understand the concern and needs our babies may need a bit more in depth because of my own experience. I’ve also taken care of pets from friends and family each with their own particular routine so I can adjust quick to situations. Flexibility + Care I like to make sure my pets are taken care of and feel comfortable before i start my day. I like to go on walks and feel like having a furry pet can make it better for both of us. They get their cardio and I do too :) I work part time on certain days so it gives me time to stop in during the day or stay overnight. I have a car which makes it easier to travel to a clients home to walk or check up on the pets I follow schedules for feeding time/medications they may need.

About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! I am experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small creatures! I view all pets as family members. I live in NY and looking for a house sitting gig during my trip to Arizona during this spring break. My schedule is flexible - I am planning to take our four legged friends on lots of adventures outdoors. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

About: Hi Im CeeCee (30). Leaving your baby, is already anxiety inducing, and frustrating as it is. And finding a trusted sitter just adds more to the mental load. With that being said, I make it my business to provide the most reassurance to You and your baby that there will be nothing but love and cuddles while you’re away. I have worked with animals since 2015 getting my start at Camp Bow Wow in Elmwood park and have worked at many prestigious hospitals in multiple states since. I love animals whether it’s cats/dogs or birds and reptiles. They are all so amazing to me. Grooming and distributing medication can be done at your request. I dont mind large dogs at all. Puppies are also welcome. I love to exercise, so your pup and I shall be doing some running around outside. Photography is my side hobby so please be prepared to be flooded with lots of pictures. All pups will go on 3-4 walks a day. More walk can be requested. Am walks: 6-7 am Afternoon walks: 12pm-1pm Pm walks:6pm-7pm Late late walks: 11pm-12am I treat all fur babies how I’d want my own to be treated. In case of emergency I live very close to multiple animal hospitals.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs. I’m patient, loving, and comfortable with all different personalities, from shy and nervous pups to more energetic or aggressive dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up. My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”

About: I've had pets all my life. Now I'm looking to have another furry friend in the house so my dog has some companionship. It's a really cozy place that any dog would be happy to spend time at. I'm working full time from home. My schedule is flexible. I have a dog that I take for walks everyday so I would take your pet as well. I also enjoy taking my dog on longer walks on the weekends if the weather permits. I have a fenced in backyard and I have a gate in the house that I can separate the dogs while I'm out so they never are alone together.

About: I love playing with my dog and always make sure he is feed, walked, and is having fun. I have also been around a few different animals and always try to taylor how I treat them towards them. At 8:30am and 6:00pm my dog gets a walk and I let out my dog whenever he stands by my back door into my fenced in yards where he is free do do as he pleases (there is nothing dangerous back there). I walk him around 30 min after his meals so he get a good bowel movement in. I would alway try to leave everything as it is and only to touch what I am instructed too. The would be taken the upmost care of.

About: Hello fellow pet enthusiasts! My name is Patryk and I have been taking care of my own pets as well as the pets of my friends and family for as long as I can remember. My journey started in Poland taking care of a yard full of dogs and has bought me here! I have had the privilege of taking care of a multitude of furry friends, from dogs and cats to lizards and hamsters. Always learning and treating the little furballs as if they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, a 100lb German Sheppard by the name of Max and a beautiful, energetic, little yorkie-poodle named Krystina. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and have been told I am a "dog magnet". I am a very charismatic person and can say that 95% of the pets I meet love me the other 5% are a bit shy and get the same, world class, treatment as all others. I am excited to meet your pets and give them the time and attention they deserve, as well as lots of petting and walks! Don't be shy, Give me a try ! :D I am self employed and make my own schedule weekly. I am a good person to call if you have a short notice emergency. I am always ready to help those in need ! I have enough space to take care of two dogs a night comfortably. A big back yard and tile floors downstairs just in case for easy cleanup. I have been told I "spoil" my dogs and that they have it so good I could leave my front door and back door open and they wouldn't leave even if you offered treats. Your pets will get the same great treatment. my approach is Love, our animals can feel all the feelings just like we can and I am here to make them feel welcome and safe. I will diligently take care of your pets as if they were my own.

“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”

Whether your pet loves adventures outdoors or relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I am able to feed and walk my pets at set times, and build in play breaks into my weekly schedule. I’m available for home visits, extended stays, drop-ins, walks, and in-home care as needed.

Alex took wonderful care of my senior dog Georgie. He came to walk him, gave him a treat, and made sure his water bowl was full before leaving. He follows instructions carefully, is responsible and always punctual. I felt completely at ease knowing Georgie was in good hands. I will absolutely continue using Alex in the future, including longer stays. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rockleigh

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 25,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rockleigh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rockleigh choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Rockleigh with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockleigh. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
